How the 3P Partnership Works
Four simple steps. Zero risk to you.
You Submit
Fill out our quick form with one photo and basic info. No commitment required.
We Invest $500
If approved, we pay for professional photography and a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection. You pay just $1 to list.
We Evaluate
Rudy reviews every submission personally and only accepts vehicles he’d put in his own garage. About half make the cut.
We Sell Together
Your car auctions for 14 days with no gimmicky time extensions. You only pay 2% total when it sells. That’s it.
Seller Sessions: Meet the People Behind the Cars
Why guess about a car’s history when you can hear it straight from the owner? Our Seller Sessions are live video interviews where sellers walk you through their vehicle, share maintenance records, discuss quirks, and answer your questions in real-time.
What you’ll see in every Seller Session:
- The seller pointing out the condition details about their vehicle.
- Discussion of service history and known issues (the good and the bad)
- Why they’re selling and how they’ve used the vehicle
- Q&A addressing bidder concerns before the auction ends
- This is transparency you won’t find at Mecum, Barrett-Jackson, or even Bring a Trailer. No scripted descriptions. No dealer middlemen. Just real conversations between car people.

Rudy explains why we’re willing to risk $500 on every car we accept
